About me



I'm a half Finnish designer who has since taken a break to bring up my children. I used to work in Graphic Design, but now I prefer working with textiles and illustration. This blog is about my allotment and garden. I have been gardening for many years and grew up watching my mum and dad do the same. I began my allotment in Jan 2010 in memory of my father who passed a way just before then. I also love cooking and finding inventive and delicious ways to make my produce into meals. I'm growing with my experiences, and welcome any helpful advice! Sometime soon I hope to use my garden as inspiration for my art.

Snowed in

So we finally got snow, and a heap of it too, about 20cms fell in just a few hours on Thursday night. Mike was pretty stranded on Friday, so worked from home. We are basically snowed in now, you can use the roads around here but it's pretty trecherous without a 4x4. I went shopping yesterday, which should have been an hour round trip, took me 3 hours! I got stuck twice trying the get up a hill. It was pretty scary, I was pleased I didn't have the kids in the car, as the prospect of being stranded with them in the middle of knowhere fills me with dread.

Hugh has partially enjoyed the snow, but he doesn't much like wearing gloves so gets cold very quickly, he can muster about 15 mins before complaining. It looks really beautiful everywhere, I have seen so much snow for years, usually it melts straight away.
